Houston Ed!!!!!! And Many, Many More!!
Now I know that you will have less candles on the cake than mine had, but do you all
need that much Heat in the Swamp?!?! (or has Winter actually hit there?!)
(well, there will be several Fire Extingushers around anyway)
Will Definitely be back in for the Tex-Mex Dinner in your Honor.
Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!

I was going to send a card but couldn't find a pen.... Happy Birthday, Ed!
About 4" of snow overnight (easily dispatched with the snowblower), but the promise of more to come tonight. Should make life interesting for the partiers.
Interesting incident last night - guy decides to run from the cops, but they quit "chasing" him and just followed him without lights and sirens instead. He still lost it on a curve and put his truck into the bushes.
Busy working on the computer last night when the screen suddenly went funky, so I went monitor shopping today. Nice flat screen to look at now. Gotta like it. My late Christmas present to myself.
Now to get caught up on all that stuff I has planned to do instead of a trip to town to go shopping....

Blue skies here and 40 degrees.

Quentin
Thanks, you guys....made to 49 so far!
Had to work today, and will work tomorrow too...cant pass up the big bucks...8 straight and 8 overtime hours two days in a row aint too shabby!
Quentin, regular unleaded is at $2.74 down here....and the day started off at 37 degrees.
So far, at 13:30, it has made it up to 73...the possums are confused!
23 17 46 11
....A little over a week ago our gas price was "down" to 2.70 here then a nice big jump for the oil co's up to 3.09 or so...Guess they had a boat payment due. And that was an overnight rise....Now, since yesterday I have seen the one location just below the 3 dollar mark.
Ed, your 73 sounds just fine.
I'm working on fixing Ed's birthday supper for tonight. You all will have lots to choose from:
Cheesy quesadillas, beef & bean burrtios, beef burritos, tacos, enchiladas, fresh tomato salsa, con queso, cheesy beef nachos, ultimate 7-layer dip, chipotle tomato soup, gazpacho w/shrimp, make ahead Mexican salad, fafitas, south of the border snapper, black bean & rice tostadas and Spanish rice.
DESSERTS:
frozen Cinco De Mayo dessert and creamy mango dessert (along with the (in the Diner) pre-requisite chocolate cake, white cake w/white icing, and yellow cake w/caramel icing.
Ed, know you had to work today, and will work tomorrow, but hope you birthday is turning out to be a good one for you!! Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Guess I'll have a couple of beef burrtios and make sure my other hand is on one of the Fire Extingushers.
Ed, not trying to be nosy, but you still have at least one more before you hit 50, correct?!
(I hit 50, 7 years ago)

Wow Larry, 392nd anniversary?!?! (notice I didn't say years, months, minutes, etc.)
OK Ed, but you still have a few to catch up with me. (and a few others!)
.....Age...hmmmm. Birthday happens in February for me. Finished High school in '49, so.....Guess that puts the figure ahead of many on here.
GOODBYE 2007
WELCOME 2008
HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!!
(E.S.T.)
good morning
its 2008 this morning!! we have a trace of snow on the ground.people probably north and east of us got more snow than rain.juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go. we also have pancakes waffles bacon and eggs.enjoy the parades and the games today if you can.
joe
....When I went to bed the temp was 40 degrees.....Now, at 8 this morning we have been treated with snow overnight and blustering wind and it's 24 degrees. Looks like 1 or so inches. Hard to tell with the wind.
Drive way is about bare and that's unusual as it generally swirls around the house and lands right on it.....
But they say we're to warm up at the end of the week and this northern cold blast moves on. Believe it's to reach clear down into Florida.
Good New Year's Day, everyone! Happy 2008 to one and all. Joe, thanks for getting breakfast ready this morning, making the juice, and everything! Really appreciate it!!
Managed to stay awake until somewhere between 1:30 and 2:00 this morning. That's very unusual for me. Woke up about an hour ago. We had a little bit of rain last night, along with the gusty winds. Haven't heard any local weather reports this morning, so I'm not too sure what the current temp is. Unless the forecast has changed, I think our temps are to slowly drop during the day. And unless the complete forecast has changed, we just may end up with a dusting to one inch of snow. Supposedly, we have snow showers that are to be coming in sometime today. Who really knows, right?!?!
You all take care, and I'll see you in here later. Got to figure out our NEW YEAR'S DAY menu. Anyone care to share with me the customs you've heard of, for a HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR? (Like, put a shiny new penny in a pot of cabbage for wealth in the new year, and eating black eyed peas for good luck.)
Snowed overnight. Still snowing. Snowblower doesn't want to run right. Sheesh!
Time to head back out and see if I can get the carb set right.
...Might try running a bit of carb cleaner thru it if you can get it running Larry....The spray can type. Gumout brand comes to mind. Air cleaner clear...?
I've got to be at work two hours early tonight so I am going to have to get ready to go. Once again Happy 2008 everyone.
Cabbage and Corned beef here for the first supper of 2008.
(along with a couple of leftover burritos.)
Okay, you Northern people, (and some mid-westerners) have done it to us here
in the Ohio River Valley, temps. right now about 18 degrees with slightly measurable
snow fall. (less than an inch, just enough to screw the roads up and the other idiots
that drive on them that don't know how too.) According to the "WeatherGuessers",
we are supposed to be COLD the next couple of days, and then back into the 50s.
Has been a lazy day around here, not many trains running to get out and take any pics. of.
Hey - Not my fault! It's those people in the old "northwest territory" (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota). An area sometimes known as the "midwest" (much to Ms Mook's chagrin).
We're on tap for snow until morning. I've seen about a foot here in the past few days. Many roads are still treacherous - something some drivers on the Interstate don't seem to have figured out, based on the number of dispatches I'm hearing on the scanner for cars in the ditch and the like.
I'll take a burrito or two. CB&C isn't a menu item I'll normally pick.
....Hey guys....it's not our fault {midwesterner's}....Sorry J....But we have to assign blame to the jet stream dropping waaaaay down to Florida, letting all that northern cold air blast down and all the way down to the south. Our morning paper forecasts Orlando Wednesday morning to be 29 degrees...!! And it sure can do it....I've been there when it was in the 20's.
Right here a bit before 10 pm it's 16 degrees. It's stopped snowing. Can't tell how much we received today as the wind has been whipping it around briskly to say the least. My guess is 1 1/2"....maybe 2.
Might even see some sunshine tomorrow afternoon but tomorrow will be cold. To be 10 here in the morning and about the same or a bit colder Thursday morning and then the warm up starts again.....
I don't understand why we get called for having the name assigned to us as midwesterner's....Out farther west, they have been assigned a name too....The open Plains....So they weren't left out.
Good Wednesday morning to everyone. Very, very cold (freezing) here this morning: 12 degrees, with a wind chill of 1 degree. (brrrrrrrrrrr)
Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea are ready, along with freshly made orange juice, orange/tangerine, apple, and pineapple.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausages (links & patties), scrambled eggs, homemade buttermilk biscuits, milk gravy w/bits of sausage in it, hash browns and home fried potatoes (you get a choice of potatoes this morning), strawberry preserves, grape jelly, orange marmalade (sp?) and bagels and bear claws.
Hope everyone has a great day, and stay as warm as possible!!
^?
Blah! Sissies - I braved 2 above to get here. Drug my fur coat through the clean sidewalks of the city, flapped my arms to brave off the cold, sneered at the 40's we will get this weekend -
ok - I bundled up and climbed in a toasty Millie and made the Driver bring me here so I could become a human again!
AARGGG - I hate these "vacations"!
Been watching the weather east of us and it hasn't been pretty. It all missed us - except for the extreme cold.
Have no clue what I missed, and no time right now to go back and catch up. But have 3 full days this week to try and make a dent back into the "good life".....
One thing hasn't changed - must find coffeeeeeeee........
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Welcome back Mookie. I'll take a plate of whatever's hot as it was 4 this morning with a brisk wind making it feel ~ -15 or so. Snow I like, but this stuff isn't as fun. Wait...it's not the heat, it's the humidity. How could I forget?
Anyone know of any power-generating windmill projects in WI or MN that may have some new windmills on the way? I spotted a couple trains worth of them the other day heading north from Neenah, WI. Pretty neat to see.
Back to the regularily scheduled grindstone...for now!
...This is to be one of the two cold days this week.....Right now: 7.3 degrees. Not snowing. Maybe some sunshine today too....{We'll need it}.
My first observation to the weather instrument this morning indicated: 73 degrees inside and 7.3 outside....Just a little weird. But sure glad I'm on the side of the larger figure.

well we got our snow from lake michigan and further north you go the more snow you have.matt is on a 2 hour delay for now.he keeps asking what we are going to do with him.I say maybe he can get a mookie student loan and go to nebraska now.bird feeders are full and the trash is by the curb.as far as windmills go if they are to make more we will have to keep an eye on the q500.
